“I think the most beautiful thing about my hometown is its Citadel, a historic fortress that gives name to this school. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for teaching. I get happy every time when I see my students enjoy learning something new.”
“I studied Spanish at the UvA and also lived in Peru for two years. At Citadel I can combine two things that I really enjoy: the Spanish-speaking world and teaching Dutch. It gives me great pleasure to guide my students.”
“I discovered my passion for teaching already as a little girl, playing with my first blackboard and chalks. Teaching is always an adventure; every student and every day is different. For me, it is a real privilege to teach my language and culture to my students.”
As a young girl it was very exciting to hear people speak a language I couldn’t understand. Learning a new language is amazing! It’s like learning to look at the world through a different lens.”
“Ever since I moved to the Netherlands in 2018, it has been a great pleasure for me to focus on teaching Spanish. It gives me great satisfaction when I see my students’ progress and their enthusiasm to get to know the rich Spanish and Latin American culture.”
“For forty years now I work on language acquisition, which I find to be a fascinating process. During my lessons I like to create a relaxed atmosphere in which my students can gradually familiarize themselves with the Dutch language.”
It has always been clear to me that I wanted to be a teacher. Today I can confirm that I love teaching my language and culture while I see my students enjoy the process. It makes me very happy to witness the progress they are making, and I learn something new from them every day.
At Citadel I combine teaching and creativity, two things that for me are closely related. I especially enjoy the interaction with the students and the good atmosphere of a room full of people wanting to learn. Therefore, the most important thing for me is to create a good atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable and, above all, has fun!
“I have always been very interested in languages and other cultures and I love being able to teach people about a language and the culture. One of the best things about teaching is seeing progress.”
“I studied Spanish language and culture. I have been teaching Dutch for 10 years and I love my job! Every student and every group is different, so I like to adapt so my students are able to learn Dutch with pleasure and a smile.”
I have over ten years of experience teaching teenagers and adults at various proficiency levels. My focus is on creating a personalized and enjoyable learning experience. I love adapting my classes to the needs of my students, taking into account their age, interests, and learning pace.
